Angular AsyncPipe without *ngIf

You still use *ngIf but you make sure it evaluates truthy by passing an object.

<ng-container *ngIf="{wrap: user$ | async} as wrap">
	{{wrap.user | json}}
</ng-container>

The about code snippet will render even if the user is null because we wrapped it in an object which is truthy.
